This is a normal post Never heard of Dragon's Den before!
Looks good, but like so many other things UK - Dragon's Den has not yet been a major topic of interest for us Merkins. Maybe something is in the works, according to Wiki.
There is a program here called "Everyday Edisons" that covers some of the same ideas about product design and development, but it is nowhere near as slick.

I did product design for about 25 years, so this sort of thing is of great interest!

This is a normal post Its pretty addictive viewing
There is an element of car crash telly as well by getting to see some of the horrific ideas some people think will make them millions.

This is a normal post When I get a little time
I will look at some episodes - I don't generally like "Reality TV" kinds of things, but I am a big fan of Iron Chef, so go figure...!

This is a normal post 'go figure'
they are words from the english language but what do they mean when placed together like that?

This is a normal post I believe that it's
an idiomatic contraction of the phrase "go and try to figure that one our for yourself" or something similar.

Anyway - to the merkin - don't you have something called 'American Inventor'? I know i've seen some of the highlights on youtube like this guy:

(I was actually looking for a different one, but this came up first - it's weird...)

This is a normal post I don't like 'US English'
phrases like 'he wrote me' instead of 'he wrote to me' drive me mental.

/needs to get out more

This is a normal post they even say:
'i could care less' (instead of 'i couldn't care less').

the logic behind that one totally baffles me.

This is a normal post That show made little impact here, AFAIK.
But as I said, I don't watch much "reality TV" so I just might have missed it. It does not seem as slickly produced as DD.

A long time ago there was a quiz show called "Liar's Club"
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar's_Club - I did watch that every once in a while.
